Overview

  • Jitendra Singh blamed Jawaharlal Nehru’s decisions for both India’s 1947 partition and the subsequent division of Jammu and Kashmir, saying PoJK exists today because of those actions.
  • He cited Nehru’s unilateral ceasefire declaration on government radio during the 1947–48 war as the turning point that prevented Indian forces from retaking PoK.
  • Singh ridiculed assertions that Rahul Gandhi as prime minister would have secured PoK for India, describing such claims as “hilarious.”
  • Earlier on May 30, Telangana CM Revanth Reddy praised Rahul Gandhi’s potential leadership, likening him to Indira Gandhi’s decisive 1971 campaign to split Pakistan.
  • Reddy also challenged why Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared a recent ceasefire without convening an all-party meeting, intensifying the BJP-Congress debate over Kashmir policy.
